“I was making tempeh when I am not yet married. It was in 1991,” the 39-year-old remembers. Today, he’s married to a 35-year-old woman named Isniyati and they have three children; Riski, Riska and Restu.

When I sit down to
write what I'm thankful for, I am humbled by the flood of things that come to
mind. My family & friends top the list, but gratitude for meaningful work
that includes relationships with my extended Mercy Corps family around the world
is right up there too.
Usniati Umayah I am thankful for having great opportunity and being part of an amazing team in Mercy Corps. I am thankful for my team and proud to lead the Healthy Street Food program called Kedai Balitaku (My Child's Cafe) as one of most innovative programs in Mercy Corps wolrdwide. I am thankful for being able to help malnourished children in poor area having healthier options and to watch them getting healthier day to day.

I have learnt a lot from disabled youths and they also learnt a lot from me. Mercy Corps continues to introduce programs bringing a lot of hope and meaning to Zimbabweans.

A friend recently shook my hand vigorously saying, "Congratulations on celebrating Mercy Corps' 30th anniversary!" I thanked him and went on to say that I would phrase his comment a bit differently. But I'll get back to that later in the story.
